I'm not going to lie, with most dress shoes I usually have a problem with the padding where it's rather uncomfortable or squeak a bit when it rubs against my work socks. Thank god these dress shoes actually did not have those problem. I've wore them for roughly a month now and I don't have that problem where my feet ache after work or the squeaking problem. There's also a bit of a malleable feel to the shoe where the design crease is which is great since that means the shoes do not have crease because of it when they bend.
